  • Kirsty B
    Veterinary Technician

    Kirsty joined RAH by way of the Royal Pet Resort & Spa in 2018.  She had such a passion for the animals she cared for at the resort, and wanted to learn more about veterinary medicine, so she came over to the hospital as an Assistant.  She took such great care of our patients that she quickly earned her way up to Technician! Kirsty has a dog named Dually, and when she's not at work you can almost certainly find her at the barn caring for her horses.

  • Steph V

    Stephan (Steph) joined RAH in August of 2021.  He has worked hard over the past few years completing the Veterinary Technology program at Dallas College.  He is now working towards becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician!  Steph grew up in New Jersey, but has called Texas home for the last 4 years.  He and his wife welcomed their first beautiful baby in 2022; their 4-legged baby is a Coon Hound/Rottweiler mix named Hazzard.  We are so lucky to have Steph as part of our RAH family!

  • Olivia R

    Olivia joined RAH in October of 2021, after working as a Veterinary Technician in Dallas for several years.  Olivia has a passion for animals and even has her own rescue, Olivia's Oddballs!  She helps keep pets from being euthanized in local shelters, and will often adopt special needs pets that need more care than their owners can provide.  Olivia shares her home with Fern (a sassy schnauzer), Alfie (a regular at RAH and a geriatric darling of a toy poodle), and Rosie (a Belgian Tervuren who is her soul mate)!  Olivia is a tremendous help with managing RAH's social media, and you always know when she is in the building - her laugh is unmistakable!

  • Kayla S
    Veterinary Technician Assistant

    Kayla joined RAH as a Technician Assistant in January of 2021. Prior to finding her home here with us, Kayla was worked as a veterinary receptionist for 3 years at a different clinic. Kayla loves animals, and she has 3 canine fur babies at home: Boo, Jax, and Rocki. When she isn't at work or at home giving love to her pups, Kayla enjoys spending time with friends and family.  She is also a huge fan of live music and you will find her on the dance floor!

  • Celestian C
    Veterinary Technician

    Celestian, or Cel for short, joined RAH in February of 2021 and was a technician for 5 years before joining our family. Cel is pictured here with his crazy, sweet Shiba Inu, Lah-Lah, and he also has a turtle named Stankerella, who, according to Cel, would benefit from anger management classes!  When not at work, Cel likes to hit the trails with his longboard and spend time on outdoor adventures with Lah-Lah.  Someday, he would like to visit the Galapagos Islands, where happy turtles abound! 

  • Marisa R
    Veterinary Technician

    Originally from Kentucky, Marisa and her husband relocated to Texas in 2021.  They have quite the menagerie, consisting of 2 dogs, 4 cats, 3 chickens, 2 rats and 1 leopard gecko!  While most of these pets are named after musicians or beautiful outdoor places (think Stevie Nicks and Yosemite), there is also a chicken named Debbie.  Marisa is excited to soon become a licensed veterinary technician; her previous career was as an aircrewman in the Navy! If she weren't in veterinary medicine, Marisa says she would be travelling the world...although we're not quite sure how this would work with 12 pets in tow!  She is pictured here with her cat, Yukon.

  • Marina S
    Veterinary Technician

    Born in Waco, Marina grew up in Louisiana, but returned to Texas after Hurricane Katrina. Marina has been working with animals in some capacity for over 8 years, and we were so lucky when she joined our team in June of 2022!  She is the proud parent of 3 cats (Bella, Skittles and Raja) & a sweet 7 year old Boxer/Lab mix named Panda (pictured here).  Marina has a variety of hobbies and would like the opportunity to travel more in the future.  One of her best memories is a 6,000 mile family road trip visiting all of the major national parks from here to California!  Fortunately for us, Marina can't imagine a career that doesn't include caring for animals!

  • Anya A
    Veterinary Technician Assistant

    Anya joined the RAH team in February 2023, and we are so glad she did!  Originally from Mexico City, Anya moved to TX when she was about 2 years old but enjoys dual citizenship and visits Mexico frequently.  Currently studying microbiology at UT Arlington, her goal is to become a veterinarian one day!  Anya has 3 wonderful pets (2 pictured here): Pepe an 11 year old cocker spaniel mix that looks exactly like a Labrador Retriever, Isis her 4 year old cuddly cat, and Nova, who is a fancy rat that loves to explore the house.  Her free time is spent doing ballet and aerial silks (wow!), and her dream is to travel to all of the continents and learn at least 5 more languages!
